I want to race sport cars, how do I attain that goal?
brian
I want to race in events like the KONI Challenge Series, I believe its called sport car racing, but Im not sure. Its the type of racing done with Sport cars, and is done on a non-oval track. First off, what is the name of this type of racing, second, how do I begin racing like this? I`m 15 and Im going to purchase my first car in a couple of months and start off drag racing.
Thanks.
Answer
It's generally called sports car racing, specifically the KONI Challenge is considered Endurance racing.
Drag racing probably isn't the best place to start, autocross might be better. Check out SCCA, NASA or other car clubs for autocross events.
When you want to start wheel to wheel road racing, you could start in karting, pro racing schools like skip barber or bertil roos, or SCCA club racing.
To make the next step up, I would suggest the VW TDI cup (http://www.vw.com/vwhype/motorsport/en/us/#/jetta_tdi_cup/).
From there, if you do well, you should have enough experience to jump right into KONI Challenge.
If you have decent funding this is actually pretty feasible. If not, you'll have to get lucky and find some sponsorship or win some shootouts or something to move up.

What is the difference between a game and a sport and an art?

I've read the answers to similar questions, but I am still not clear.
Some people have said that sports tests a person's physical skills and endurance. If so, what about bowling? That's not really an endurance sport. It tests skill, though.
What category does pool/billiards come under? What about darts?
What about figure skating, which tests skills and endurance as well as other things, but is a solo or pair activity rated by judges. Would then ballroom dancing be considered a sport?
And what about stage combat - the kind of sword fighting you see in movies? That takes great skill, endurance, control, but like figure skating and ballroom dancing, it is choreographed. People are judged in it when they go for their certification. Could this be considered a sport? It's not really a game, but it can be considered an art.
I'm just so confused. Perhaps there isn't a clear line? I would really like to get some help on understanding the difference between sports and games.
MB - I love the quote! lol. I can not imagine a life-threatening injury arising from bowling, yet it is considered a sport.
Silver Fox - thanks for the definitions, though it doesn't make things clearer to me. There seems to be a lot of overlap. I'm still not sure why somethings are considered a sport, while others that seem to fit the same categories aren't.
